A. u. stephens Manxied Hand.

book that Mr.. Stephens, in memorable
encounter with Judge Cone, was perma-
nently disabled. He states that "a sur
gical examination showed that one OF
Cones knife stabs had penetrated to
within less than the sixteenth of an inch
Of his heart, while his right hand was

good right hand was badly mangled, but
not permanently hurt so as to prevent
the use OF a pen. The writer received at
least peck Of letters from Mr.. Stephens,
written by his own hand, and this was
the experience Of many other pcrsons.

Peculiar Instinct OF sheen.

The Boston Cultiyator calls attention TO
the fact that, II left TO themselves, sheep
viii retire at night to the most elevated
part of the field. This Is relic Of the
time when they were wild, and such pre-
caution was necessary that they might
guard against approaching danger from
wild animals. But the fact has It's ad-
ynniagcs. Tie knolls that sheep select
for their sleeping places are generally
ORIGINALLY poor, but sheepwill soon enrich
them. The grass also is sweeter than on
low land and sheep are less liable to dis

UNIQUE HOSPITALITY.
\ B6ston Woman who Compelled a
Caller to Take Bath.


Mrs. Y. is brilliant Boston woman of
abundant executive ability, shrewd wit,
and delightful hospitality. The exigen-
cies of her husbands led to the keeping
up an establishment in the West, where
Mrs. Y. passes some months of the year,
and where she entertains great many
people. One day there was brought to
Mrs. Y. the card of an English gentle
man, accompanied by letter of intro
duction from friends of the Y. S abroad.
The hostess went down stairs and
greeted the guest cordially.
eve are so accustomed to travellers
here she said, "that we know just
what to do with them. We expect every
body to arrive travel-stained and ex-
hausted, and we let everybody take a
bath the first thing. l spoke to the SER
want before came down, and everything
is all ready"
"But," stammered the stranger, 81
cannot thing of putting you to so much
trouble. I"
ooh, I know Just how you feel, in
corrupted Mrs. Y. ga bath is the only
thing that restores me to my normal
you have come right through from Bos-
ton"
The guest demurred, but Mrs. Y. was
too executive, and too truly hospitable
to allow his scruples to prevent the car
rying out of her kindly intent. The
Englishman WAS shown up stairs to the
bathroom, where it is to be presumed
he combined with the progress of his
toilet reflections upon the originality
and practicality of American hospital
ity.
In due time the guest decended again
to the parlor, where Mrs. Y. awaited
him.
81 hope you have found everything
to your mind, she said.
"Oh, yes," he replied, 81 have had a
delightful bath; and now Unjust bid you
good afternoon, as | have to catch a
train.
"What2" cried his host aghast.
"You are not going2'
Unfortunately I must only stop
ped over a train to call on you"
"Mercy I" she exclaimed, in 6sInay.
81 thought you had come to remain
You certainly cannot go away when I
havn't seen you at all 2"
81 really must" was the reply, "but
l assure you have had most refresh
ing bath, and shall always remember
with sincere pleasure your unique hos
pitality.'
The story was too good to keep, and
Mrs. Y. told it at her own expense,
greatly to the entertainment of her
friends, who declared that this fashion
of entertaining visitors was one which de-
served to be widely introduced, as it
would solve many perplexing question
of the proper method of disposing OF
guests who were not easy to amuse.

In Dec. 1885, l. S. johnson & 90, % Custom
House ST., Boston, Mass, offered eight premi-
uns payable in gold coin, which they say crea-
led great interest among people who kept
hens, so much so, in fact, that they authorize
US to say that they shall offer Nov. 1st, 1887
another list of premiums for the bests results
from the use of Sheridan's Powder to Make
Hens Lay. Of course all who compete canugt
get one of the premiums, but some of the last
years reports sent us show that The parties
ought to have been well satisfied if they had
not received any other benefit than the in
crease of eggs they got while making the trial
For example the first premium was twenty
five dollars taken by G. A. French, Washing
ton, \. L who fed thirty hens the Sheridan's
Powder for eight weeks. The first week he got
only ten eggs; the third week the hens laid POI
eggs, and the eighth week 20S eggs. During the
eight weeks trial he got 1898 eggs which, at the
price of eggs in Boston or New York markets
in mid-winter would have yielded S4GG0 or
Sl.55 for each hen in eight weeks time Con-
sidering the small expense of keeping a hen no
animal on a farm will pay like that. The
fourth premium, which was ten dollars, went
to Mrs. E. b. Carlin, CoDklin Centre, n. Y,
who in the eight weeks received from forty
hens l7Ol eggs. The first week she only cot
~ eggs, but the last week 27 eggs.
This clearly demonstrates that the use of
Sherldans Powder to Make Hens Lay will in
crease the profit several hundred per cent
johnson d Co. will send two % cent packs OF
Sheridan's Powder postpaid to any address for
20 cents in postage stamps; or a large 21I pound
can of Powder for Sl20. To each person Or
derlng large can as above they will send free

We Feed the World.

The United States not only continue
their work Of feeding the rest of the
worid-they steadily increase the amount
Of that work. For the ten months end
ing August 81 the exports of beef and
pork exceeded by 80, 900, 900 the exports
of the same kind in the same period in
1886. The total was $65, 500, 900, or a
ratio Of over $76,000,00O a year. The
wonder of this thing is beyond parallel.
and it may well claim passing thought
in these days of reflection upon the

able future of the republic. Here is the

meats than beef and pork go to swell
the enormous total, as do breadstuffs,
fruits and vegetables, canned goods,
etc. We not only feed ourselves more
nourishingly and amply than any Other
people are fed but we send these hun.
dreds of millions worth of food yearly
to the markets of other nations. No

An Officers Claim.


Capt. George Mitchell, of the Second
Artillery, has filed claim for longevity
pay, which if allowed will involve the
Government to the extent of at least
81 100000 in the payment of similar
claims. Capt. Mitchell claims that he
sIE1ld be credited with service as a
voluit OF officer of the army in comput-
ing his longevity pay. The Supreme
Court has decided in the Morton case
that service at the Military and Naval
Academies is service in the army OF
navy, and should, therefore, be reckoned
in computing longevity. Under this
ruling q large amount of money has
been paid out 1t is held by LAWYERS
generally that if the years spent at the
Academies as students are to be counted
as years spent in actua service, then
volunteer service, in time Of war, should
certainly be taken into consideration in
the computing of longevity. 1t is the
general opinion that Capt. Mitchell has
good claim and that he will secure its
allowance As soon as it is allowed
there will, without doubt, be a similar
claim filed by some naval officer.
Another class of longevity claims is soon
to cone before the Court OF Claims.
There are not q few officers in the army
who entered the service as enlisted men.
They naturally consider, under the
terms of the law upon which the deci-
sion in the Morton case was based, that
they are more clearly entitled to credit
for service as enlisted men than the
West Point G graduates are for service as
students. Their service was put in oD
the field and is considered to be more
clearly actual service than that of the
cadets by such officers of the Govern
mcnt as have been consulted about the
matter.

For several years inmates of the par
ish prison, of New Orleans, La, have
been suffering from peculiar disease
frequently terminating in death. Thir-
ty-nine cases of the disease and five
deaths have occurred since January. The
disease has generally been attributed to
the damp condition of the prison. A
physician of the state board of health
made a thorough examination of the
matter and his report does away entirely
With the dampness theory, and states
that the sickness is caused by insufficient
food. The utions consist of cup of
tea and piece of bread in the morning
and soup during the day. The meat for
soup is provided by contract at very
low rate and has several times been con-
demned by the residents. The surgeon
says tins food is wholly insufficient. The
inspecting physician declares that several
Of the prisoners presented evidence of
